10-3 after five.
Glavine taking a shot at 300 losses.
Runners on third don't go home nearly enough.
I have a headache.
Edited to add:
15-7 after nine.
Smith is out of pixie dust.
Six runners in position to score in fact did not.
My headache was about gone before I began to think about this game [1] again.
So I shall stop doing that.
But at least the Phillies were pounded worse [2].
And the Mets get to leave Detroit.
I hope Willie makes them run to Los Angeles.
BEST THING TO COME OUT OF THIS TRIP: Due respect to Sosa's eight innings and Gomez's first home run, I'm mostly thrilled that our friend the Mets Guy in Michigan got to spend a few hours with the Mets guys in Michigan. Read Dave Murray's account [3] of his trip across the state with his daughter to meet the Mets for the first time in a long time.
